Slave Calendar

Not a day should pass when we don’t remember our past

“Portraiture and true stories of hope as told by the living descendants”

Not many people know that, upon landing at the Cape of Good Hope, slaves were stripped of everything – even their names. As property, many were renamed after the calendar month in which they arrived.
